New Wheels, Exhaust & Air Cleaner on my Fat Bob !!
 
Finally got everything installed.

D&D BobCat Exhaust. Love the sound and responsiveness of the upgrade breathing on the bike. The dealer did a Stage 1 reprogram of the factory cpu.

PM wheels & Rotors. It's a 19" front and an 18" rear. The rear tire is a 180, and the front wheel is 19x3" so it's a pretty wide tire too. Love the ride of the new wheels.

I also added the old-school LePera seat.

The only additional major thing I have in mind is new shocks. I am kinda stuck between the stock length or the 1" longer Ohlins. I'm thinking the 1" over for a little more clearance, and a more level look to the bike.

Minor things are work on the rear tail-light license plate a bit, the front turn signals, and maybe remove passenger pegs and assorted belt guards.

All the vendors were great to deal with, as were HogPro who sold me all the PM stuff and Columbia Harley-Davidson, who installed it.

Looks awesome man those are heathens arent they? I love those rims been wanting the contrast cut version for my WG. I say leave the height of the bike where it is higher shocks in the rear I think would make it look uneven personally.

That all looks great together. Not many people have that exhaust yet. I like it.

Thanks! And yep, those are Heathens. I considered all the finishes but decided in the end on polished, but they sure look like chrome. PM can polish stuff to a ridiculous level.

Thanks for the advice on the shocks. I'm continuing to mull it over. I posted a whole thread on it but didn't get anyone who has tried them who could send me a picture.

Thanks for the encouraging words.

Looking great man, those wheels are sweet and I love that pipe!!!

(if you're tweaking minor things next, consider a chrome battery band, the stock one looks dull in next to all those shiny parts)

The BobCat and PM ac are awesome! The ac should help with knee clearance too, which is needed on the Fat Bob. I really do not recommend the HD Tri-Bar, it is a POS, and there really are not a lot of good looking options out there - maybe the Eliminators but I don't like the idea of pulling out the rear turn signals. Man I need sunglasses for those wheels! Good job.

That pipe looks great! Bike really looks good.

Looks like money! Now,if it were just all in black.......:icon_goofygrin:

Great work so far - the exhaust is sweet do they do it in black.

I moved my front indicators with use of a indicator bar - eBay £10 powder cost £10 so bargain

I think you should add a tank lift. 1-2" would make a huge difference.
